If you are teetering on either side of the weight range, it is worth getting your body fat percentage checked to ensure that you are indeed in good health. The scales will not distinguish between fat and muscle. Itâs not so much about how much should you weigh, as it is about ideal body fat percentage.
A bile canaliculus is an extremely narrow passageway within the liver. Some people describe a bile canaliculus as an ultra-thin tube, but this not entirely accurate, as bile canaliculi are actually grooves formed by variations in the faces of liver cells.
Under normal circumstances, bile is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. When you eat a meal, bile passes from the gallbladder through the cystic duct and the common bile duct into the small intestine, where it mixes with partially digested food. Gallstones are the most common reason for biliary colic. If a gallstone blocks either of these ducts, the normal flow of bile into the intestine is disrupted. The muscle cells in the bile duct contract vigorously to try to move the stone, causing the pain of biliary colic.
